Q: Info on how to defend myself against child support when being put into a situation by my wife and in-laws
My wife has taken my child from me before. This time after we got back together and moving to TN because she hated Wisconsin. She and her Mother-in-law left me with a debt that include my Mother-in-law not paying for her husband's and her cell phone in a attempt to take me out the picture. I've ALWAYS taken care and supported my child as my wife hasn't worked since the my son was burned.
A: Child support is determined by income of the parents with certain deductions for insurance, day care, and medical costs. This calculation is then made on the guidelines in accordance with the custody schedule. Having "debt" is not going to factor much, if at all. You would be wise to hire an attorney to assist you with this determination.
